42 U.S.C.A. §671(a)(31) Federal law requires the division to exercise reasonable efforts to place siblings removed from their home in the same placement, unless the division documents in the case file that it is contrary to the safety or well-being of any of the siblings. Federal law makes no distinction between whole and half siblings. CWM Section 4, Chapter 7.5 Requires siblings to be placed together. If siblings are not placed together administrative reviews are required monthly to comply with federal law.
